Another Calamity.

The horror of Hartford has been out
done at Forest Hills, in all but the
burning. and that would have occurred
but for the thoughtfulness of the en-
gineer. in pushing on to the village
and giving an alarm which speedily
drew a fire engine to the spot.
The scene of the accident is in the
West Roxburv district of Boston, a
little more than five miles from the
city hall. Dedham is ten miles out
and is reached by branch of the
Providence railroad. which leaves the
main line at Forest Hills. From For
est Hill the branch bears off to the
right. climbing a grade and crossing
over a highway.
The train left Dedham at Z O'Clock
and was due in Boston at 40. 1t
contained many working people, a
majority of them young women, who
were going to their tasks in the shops,
stores and offices of the city. All the
inward morning trains on that road
are laden and that one especially so.
In many respects the accident re-
sembles the one at Hartford. Latest
news points to the theory that it was
caused bv a broken rail, which threw
a car from the iron and its humping
on the bridge caused the girder to
break If this proves true, it will be
and let US hope, profitable
to see what theory of prevention can
fairly be evolved.
The Boston and Providence is a
wealty corporation and aims to keep
its road and equipment up to the high
est standard of excellence.

w ASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDING OF THE MoSIroE.I
Washington. March II.


1t is now the belief of many lead
ing men of the democratic party, some
of whom are occasionally called to
the White House for counsel and
advice, that the president will ask
the fiftieth congress to convene in ex-
ira session early in October. If he
does, there are several reasons that
will prompt the unpopular step.
1t is a well known fact that con-
gress scarcely ever does anything
like real work until after the holiday
recess. 1t goes without saving also
that the two great parties in congress
will be surcharged with politics next
year and that their time will be
largely devoted to president making
50, unless some of the important
Legislation to come before it. can be
matured at an earlier day than the
course of the regular session would
make possible, there would be but
little hope for its success.
The experience of the last two win
tiers has shown very clearly that the
interests of the country have become
altogether too vast and complicated
to be thoroughly looked after and
kept up within the time afforded bv
the regular sessions. Much of the
first, or the long session, as it is usu-
ally called, is devoted to the formula
ton of business for the second or
short session, and the business thus
deferred from one wear to another
in many cases business of the most
urgent importance-is hurled into the
whirl of the last ten DAYS or two
weeks of congress, to be but half
done, or badly done, or not done at
all. Some idea of the manner in
which the forty-ninth congress wound
up its WORK NAV be found in the dec
laration of a member of long expert
ence, that the record revealed the
fact that one-quarter of the legisla-
ton of the session had been enacted
in the last six legislative DAYS. An
enrolling clerk of twelve wears of
service said that never in that length
of time had he witnessed the haste
exhibited in the last twenty-four
hours of the congress which has Just
expired.
During the recess of the upper
house, for the senate, which only re-
news one-third of itself bienialIy. is a
perennially organized body and goes
on forever, some of the senators will
go to Europe. Mr.. Ingalls, of Kan
sas, the newly elected president of
the senate, says he Is not one of those
who can indulge in such a luxury,

Governor Stewart on the Pension
Bill

In letter to the Free Press Rep
resentative Stewart says:
No bill was ever more CT Ossly misrep-
resented by the press of the country, and
the criticisms of the president are hyper
critical and dictated by a spirit of hostil
ity to the policy of further extension of
the pension list, which he has repeatedly
shown in vetoes of most meritOriOuS
cases Under the bill total disability is L
prerequisite to enjoyment of its provis-
ions. No one attempted to answer or
could answer the argument on that point,
of Malson, the chairman of the commit
tee. Then as TO the number of benetic-
iaries, the estimate of the committee was
based not upon conjecture, but upon
carefully gathered and precise statistics,
furnished by the pension bureau, whereby
the wild coniectureS OF the president and
the papers who joined in the hue and cry,
are shown TO have no other foundation
than the varying faucieS of the directors.
The personal influence of the executive
was brought to bear upon the democrats
of the House. by which enough votes
were changed to defeat the bill. As it
was we had 80 democrats and a solid re-
publican vote for it. Every man from
the South. save Woodford from Kentucky,
voted against it, while every southern
member voted for the Mexican service
pension bill, far more obnoxious to all
The executive criticisms than this one, aS

islution is stopped. l assure you that

is at bottom inspired by the confederates

ed to spend the summer abroad. he
replied. mot unless some good fairy
pityingly puts money in my purse"
He added that European pleas
ures called for more filthy ncre
than he could command.
When some establishment was eX-
pressed that the president of that
great millionmres' club (the United
States senateC could not afford a trip
across the Atlantic in these days of
low prices and rapid transit, the SEN
ator said it was a plain. unvarnished
truth, and that there were quite a
number of members of the million
aires club in the same predicament.
He thinks great deal of unnecessa-
nv nonsense is written about senator
ial eXclusiveness and senatorial
wealth, and asserts that in reality
large majority of his confreres have
nothing but their salaries to live on.
Senator Spooner is not too power
tv-stricken to plan a summer trip TO
Europe, however. and Senator Palm
er. who is one of the undisputed pos
SCISSORS of millions, is going to bring
his invalid wife home. The latter
has been called the philosophical mill
lionaire, and is fond of talking cpl
grammatically of life and the useless
ness of immense wealth. His Wash
in9tOn residence is one of the hand
soonest brown stone fronts in the city,
but he says the happiest man is the
one who has the most illusions.
Speaking of his occasional trips
abroad. he said he wanted to get all
he could out of them before he got a
bit older, for it took youth as well as
money to enjoy Europe or anything
else.
The prominent business men of
this city who are anxious to have a
carnival here after the National Drill,
which is to take place in May, have
been discussing details in regard to
the scheme At the recent Mardi
Gras in New Orleans, the Knights of
Momus and the Knights of Proteus
were the organizations which made
the finest display, and both are pro-
posing to dispose of their outfits,
which originally cost $4,000, cars
and costumes, at 81, 900 and Sc. 900.

as expense could be saved in that
way. and it is held that sum of S2j,-

private subscription, would be nee

1t was talked that if the carnival was
not held this year it would not be
possible to have it for four years.

Among other reforms with which
the Forty-ninth Congress should be
credited were the allotment of land in
severaltv to the Indians. the extension
of the free delivery system to cities
of ten thousand inhabitants, the pro-
hibition of ownership of land by aliens
and the forfeiture and restoration to
the public domain of about fifty mil
lion acres of land. The steps taken by
the late Congress on land reform
were. in fact, of the highest impor-
lance TO the country. Year after year
for half century past, the work of
despoilment has been going on
until millions of the finest land in the
far West have been brought into the
possession of foreign capitalists and
American spectators to the eX-
clusion of bona tide settlers and the
impoveTishment of the nation. Terri

Col. a. B. JeWett.

that he hoped 10 return 10 business IN

arose from a short sleep on a sofa.
Between nine and ten o'clock he

The Wonderful Artesian Well Of
Belle PLANE, Iowa.

Sometime since Mr.. Chester Ira
cy, formerly of this town, but now
of Luzerne, Iowa, promised to send
letters and statements in regard to
the great flowing well of which such
eXtravagant stories have been cir
culated in the papers. The following
will embodv the facts, and some
statements regarding these wells:
In the spring of 1886 Hilton Broth
ers & Co. of Belle PLANE who had
a celebrated creamery at that point
decided to sink a deep well, in the
hopes of obtaining pure and cold
water for their creamery. They en-
ployed parties to sink a well. much
after the plan of sinking wells for
oil. When a depth Of 215 feet was
reached, water came up with great
force, so that it rose % feet in pipes.
The water proved good and at once
other people set about digging wells.
After penetrating the earth a few
feet a blue clay stratum was struck
extending down to a quicksand stra-
tum in which water was found in
every case. The force of the out
flow was powerful-sufficie t to be
taken into the highest parts of
buildings. run motors, supply fire
hose. etc. There were various con-
lectures as to what caused the flow
of water, where it came from. and
the like. Here let it be stated that
a philosophical explanation, and one
that satisfies most scientific men. is
that the water source is at some dis
tant point where the country is high
er than the place of outflow. The
water percolating down where the
earth is porous into some opening
pushes out in all directions to find
vent as in natural springs. If it so
happens that the rock strata or the
clay or other stratum is such that it
cannot find vent or fissure, it is held
ln-down-with such force as the
supply above gives to a water foun-
tain where the head is situated higher
above it. When the auger reaches
down through the rock or other stra-
tum that confines the water. oil. gas.
or other substance, they flow out the
hole with such force as the head or
pressure behind gives them. In this
case it is supposed that there are

The oleomargarine bill brought into
the treasury. up to the end of Feb.
a little over s22O.O0O. The average
monthly product appears TO have set
tied down to between two and
half and three millions pounds. The
manufacture is mainly confined to the
states of Illinois, Indiana and Kan
sas. Efforts TO carry the factories in
New York and Pennsylvania are
hampered by local laws. The chemi-
cal and microscopical bureau, estab-
lished in the internal revenue depart
ment TO pass upon the product, Is in
successful working, but is greatly
cramped by want OF room to equip
suitable laboratory. None of the de-
cisions have vet been questioned. A
good deal of the stuff seized as cleo
margarine Is found TO consist of diff
ferent samples of rancid butter, mix
ed and boiled down and temporarily
made marketable by the use of chem
icals.

Private funeral services were held

of1iciated. Mrs. Beecher sat beside
the coffin, and forty or fifty friends
and relatives were present. The cof-
fin was covered with a pail woven
from ferns and flowers. No black
was used about the room, as Mr..
Beecher had an aversion to ordinary
tokens of mourning. In the process
sion were people of all classes and
nationalities. 1t is estimated that
over twenty thousand people passed
the catafalque. The remains were
dressed in q suit of black broadcloth.
with the frock-coat buttoned up and
the right hand laid across the breast
The features were natural and there
was q smile upon the face. The long
gray hair was brushed back over the
ears. the same as Mr.. Beecher wore
it while alive. So many wreaths and
bouquets were left on the bier that a
special place had to be provided for
them at the foot of the pulpit. At
night the Beecher residence was bril-
hantlv lighted. The members of the
family were dressed as if going to
church on Sunday and everything
around was made as bright and cheer
full as possible, in accordance with
the often expressed wish of Mr..
Beecher in case of such an event.
Many visitors called during the day
on visits of coincidence to Mrs. Beech
er and many flowers were sent.
The public funeral of Mr.. Beecher
occurred Friday in Plymouth church.
Business was suspended in Brooklyn,
and even the courts adjourned. DIR.
Charles Hall conducted the services.

Beecher greatly admired. Assistant
